WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 29. ^ The Next House. Estimates Indicate a Democratic Majority of Eiglileen. WASHINGTON, Oct. l-l-Three weeks hence the voters el the Hotted Stetes \rill pass in judgment npou the Harri? son admioistra?ou aoc ?be record of the Fifty -first Congreso at its first ses? sion. The Cromwellian mle of Speaker Reed, the economic policy of Major " y and the Lodge force bill are each of them distinctive features of the Republican policy and are to be ap? proved or condemned at the polis by * the American people. Of ail the issaes which will tend to shape the result, the new tariff law is likely |to proTC the most potent motor in determin^g s^^iecaase its effects are so far fe*ebin| and it comes home to every individual consumer io the land. While President Harrison was elected en the protective tariff issaes by minority ip -?he electoral college, tho ~ Republican leaders never intimated that they proposed to go to the lengths of the measure that has jost become a law. The bili has been passed despite the pretests of a large and important element of the population. Already its effects are being felt. Prices are slowly bot - steadtiy going np on articles of almost eniveraal consomption. On the other hand wages have not acted ia sympathy with prices. The home industries, which are expected to receive sachan impetos by reason of the new teriff, canoon experience it oe di the largs stock of loreign goods which has been laid in becomes exhausted. The effect of all this mast operate to the detriment of the Republican?), and nowhere more than in the agricultural States of the West, where the feruling interests are greatly depressed. Sena? tors Paddock,, of Nebraska, Pettigrew of Sooth Dakota and Flamb of Kansas reallied this folly when they voted against the McKinley bili on its final passage, and in doing so they represent? ed the views of their constituents. The absence of harsh criticism of their votes in the eolumas of the Republican papers in those. States proves this in? contestably. The force bill has had the effect of nerving op the Southern Democrats to a supreme effort and very few Republi? cans will sit in the next Congress from that section. So strong is the feeling on the subject that Mr. McComas, who has bean repeatedly elected to represent the Sixth District of Maryland as a Repat licao, is thought this year to be in danger of defeat. The same thing will apply to Congressman Bro wer of North Carolina, who has twice been elected as a Republican. No efforts will be spared by the Democrats io the Sowta \o carry every district possible and aa increased Democratic represen - teston may be expected. fa this connection it is advisable to touch oin a movement which is attract? ing widespread attention and which is expected to play an important part in the fauwe polities of the country. I refer te ?he Farmers' Alliance. The Biyablicinw are laying the flattering ?natiin to their souls that through this madge they will be able to break np the -olid Sooth and perhaps prevent the Democrats from organising the next Boase. In this they are likely to be fediy deceived. Trae, sn many districts in the South, alliance men have defeated Democratic veterans for tho nomination. This happened in six of the ten Georgia ?astricta. Bot it was merely a primary ?aalsst? and the nominees are running as D?mocrate and with the understand? ing that they trill participate in the Democratic causas. They well know that to prove recr?ant to this pledge would doom them to future political eb?vion. The Southern Alliance Dem? ocrats will stand by their party. . Bat io the Western States the Re eoblicaos are try?}? to utilize the alli auce and^ with some success. In several Skates, tn close md doubtful districts, they have indorsed alliance candidates or have secured the nomination of alli? ance candidates who had been lifelong' Republicana. This is notably the case ia the Eighteenth Illinois District, where the President of the Farmers' ?tinsse of that State is the Republican candidate for Congress. This coquetting of the Republicans with the alliance mea may lose a few districts to the Democrats, bot only very few, for most of the Western States are Republican and have been carefully gerrymandered in the Repub? lican interest, and where there is a D?mocratie district it is usually large? ly Democratic The Ohio Democrats have adopted the system this year sod propose to try it, and great is the wail? ing snd gnashing of teeth smoog the followers of the grand old party at what they are pleased to term the "in? ternons D?mocratie gerrymander." The following figures will show the situation st a glance: First we will take the Sooth. Ia the present Con? gress from that section the Democrats have 104 members and the Republicans 17 ; ta tho ext Congress the Demo? crats Will i ely have 107 and the Rep?blicas s ?, being a gain of 3 for the Democrats in the Sooth. Io 1888 the Democrats lost one of the Baltimore districts by carelessness. Stockbridge, Republican, defeating Raynor, Deno erat, by 80 rotes. Mr. Raynor is again a candidate aod will sorely be elected. Tho Fifth district of Mary? laad, carried by Campton, Democrat, by 121 votes in 1888 (be was after? ward unseated,) bas been strengthened by tho addition of a Democrat ic ward of Baltimore. While the Democrats are hotly contesting the Sixth district, McComas, Republican, stand to win. In Virginia Professor Langston is likely thu year to carry the Petersburg district on his merits, bat there are two Bepablieao candidates in the Norfolk district and the division of the vote is likely to resalt ia the retara of a Demo? crat. Ia North Carolina the Democrats have a good prospect of regaining either the Fifth or Ninth district. Brower, Bepablieao, carried the former in 1888 by only 675 votes aod Ewart the latter by 618. The vote in both districts was a tull ooo. Cheatbam the ooly original colored member of the House, carried the Second district by bot 653, bat his district is Republican. The Second district of Louisiana, part of the etty of New Orleans, was carried by Oo?eioao, Republican, in 1888, by 174 majority. It was entirely due to Democratic dissension and the district this year will go heavily Demo Io Kentucky the Legislature ht districted the State and all the si Republican counties have been rn: in one district. This assures a ga ooe member to the Democrats. The Legislature of Tennessee also redistricted that State and Third, or Chattanooga district, ? returned a Republican in 1888 by majority, had a thousand more D eratic voters put into it. The Republicans elected four o hers to the present Congress Missouri. Three of them were St. Louis districts heretofore represe by Democrats. It is safe to ass that at least one of them will be deemed. Four Democrats were returned I West Virginia in 1888 by small ma ties, two of whom have since been seated. It is fair to divide the del tion equally between the parties at coming election, considering how c the State ts. In Arkansas the Republicans likely to gaie a member. They none at the opening of the present ( gress, but unseated two Democi So the result of the estimate show net lots to the Republicana of three a net gain to the Democrats of th re sixteen Southern States. Io the Eastern States the Democi now have 23 Congressmen, while Republicans have 67 It is ex pet in the approaching election that the urea will stand about as follows : De crats 31, Republicans 64, being a g of 3 members for the Democn Maine has already voted and elec four Republicans. In New Hamps! the Democrats have a fair prospect electing one member, as they have i io Rhode Island, but both are coneec to the Republicans in the estimate. Massachusetts only the two Bos districts are put down as Democrat though the D?mocrate have hopes others. The delegation is left uncbai ed. Io Connecticut a gain of* one d trict can be safely claimed by the Dec crats. Io several Congresses they ha had three members. The Republic? carried the first third aod fourth d trices in 1888 by 813, 748 and 26 ii jority respectively.. Io New York the Democrats are cc ceeded a gain of one district Th lost the Fifteenth District in 1888 74 votes. In the Buffalo district Jo M. Farquhar has been left out int cold, aod against the present Repub can nominee Mr. Dan Lockwood, t Democrat, can win. In the Thirl third the Republicans are as badly < vided as in 1888, when John Wi! carried the district by 564. Mai believe that the Republicans - will ic the Rochester district, owing to t unpopularity of their nominee, DJ Voorhis: Mr Greenleaf, the Dem eratic candidate, beat him several 'yea ago. Io New Jersey tbe Democrats a sure of the three districts they now hoi sod are likely to capture the Newa; district. Io Peoosylvaoia the bolt again Delamater, Senator Quay's candida for Governor, is likely to affect the clo districts, and in one of them, tl Twenty-fifth, two Republicans, are i the field, so that a Democratic gai of one is not an unreasonable claim. From this section, including Ne England and New York, New Je rs? aud Pennsylvania, a Democratic gai of three and a Republican loss of thn is claimed to be the probable result. Lastly, the Western section of tl country, embracing the nineteen r maioiog States. Six of these-Non aod South Dakota, Moutana, Washing too, Wyoming and Idaho-did not vol io 1888, though the first four did i 1889 aod their Representatives partie pated io the organization of the preset House. Io this sectioo a gaio for the De mc crats of eight members cao be con fi dently expected, and a corresponds loss by the Republicans, and wheo th test of political probabilities is applie to this claim it "rill be readily seeo tba it is a conservative one. Io Ohio a Democratic gaio of sevei members is a very conservative claim Io the present Congress there are bu five Democrats from Ohio to sixteei Republicans. The "infamous" gerry mander which produced this result hat been duplicated by the recent Demo eratic Legislature, with the shoe oo th< other foot, aod fifteen districts havt been constructed with Democratic ma jorities ranging from six buodred t( three thousand. Six districts wen made heavily Republican. In some o the districts the Democratic majority ii small, notably in the Sixth, Eighth ans Thirteenth, where it does oot exceec 1,000, and so these districts are conced? ed to the Republicans io the estimate. Moreover, the Republicans themselves conoede eleven districts to the Demo? crats, and say that if they can keep the Democrats down to that figure they will have woo a great Republican victcry. Io 1888 the lodiaoa Democrats car? ried ten of the thirteeo Coogressional Districts. Six of the ten, however, were carried by less than 750 plurality, four of them by less than 500, and two of them by less than 100 ploralty, the First District by 20 votes and the Eighth by 69. It is well known that the Republican managers sacrificed everything to secure the electoral vote of the State for Harrison. It in there? fore safe to assume that the Republi? cans will gain two districts this year, and they are accorded that in the esti? mate. In Michigan a gain of one is assured to the Democrats. In 1888 they lost the Sixth District by only 367, and the Tenth, or Bay Cify District, by only 115, and in the latter the Republicans put forward their strongest candidate, who is not io the field this year. Io Wisconsin the only gain claimed for the Democrats is the Milwaukee district. That city elected a Democra? tic mayor this spring by over 6.000 majority, and on ao is=ue which is the issue in this campaign. While the Democrats have nominated the million? aire John Michell as their candidate, the present Republican member, Van Schaick, who has never met defeat, would not consent to run again. He dropped out once before when Democra? tic success was assured. Io Iowa a gain of one is claimed from the Repub? licans La-1 year Governor Boles car? ried five of the eleven districts in the State. Certainly one of these should elect a Democrat this year. The Iowa district, now held by the Democrats, aod the two held by thom io Wiscon? sin are largely Democratic and safe. The above are the only Western States in which any Democratic gains are claimed, though there is a good prospect of defeating the Republican candidates in both the Si st and Fourth California districts, now represented io -- Congress by Republicans. The es ti mate is intended to be conservative, and gives to the Republicans everything they can possibly hope to carry. To sam op, the Republicans cannot hope to secure more than fourteen members in the South, sixty-four in the East and seventy-nine in the West, and to secure this representation they are accorded nearly every doubtful district. The representation will then stand near? ly as follows : Republicans. Democrats. East 64 31 West 79 37 South 14 107 Total 157 175 Democratic majority at lowest calcu? lation-18. Arrests of Democrats in Hampton. Tbe outrage mill has begun to grind in South Carolina. In Hampton coun? ty Messrs. BL B McSweeney,| W. J. Causey, J. 0*H. Sanders, and ?lev. W. H. Dowling have been arrested upon a warrant issued by United Skates Commissioner Morgan upon the affidavit of Chairman Riley, of the Republican party in Hampton County, "for refusing to discharge their duty as officers under the State laws.'' The arrests have been, it is said, in the interest of 8. E. Smith, the Republican candidate for Congress in tne 2d district. It is alleged that Cc!. McSweeney refused to issue a large number of registration tickets to negroes upon the demand of Riley, who presented a carpet-bag full of affidavits by mythical persons claim? ing the right to be registered, and that the other persons named in the warrant of arrest refused to administer oaths to negroes desiring to make affidavits that they bad lost their registration certifi? cates. The Post Office Deaartment aod those who urge the establishment of a postal telegraph favor the Essrck printiog telegraph instrument, a machine of recent invention, which com bi o es the principles of telephone, telegraph, stock ticker and typewriter. An - inter? esting exhibition of its operation was given r. few days ago at Providence. Messages are received in type-written form, without the intervention of an operator, the instrument working automatically. They are sent from a little key-board, and a type-written sheet passes up before the operator, so that he is enabled to detect and correct any mistake that may occur. Messages j by this system can be transmitted over l<>ng lines of five hundred or one thousand miles, and, with ene trans? mission, the same news simultaneously produced at an unlimited number of stations. A company has been incor? porated, and nearly one hundred miles of line constructed between New York and Boston. The Pulpit and the Stage. R*r F. M. Shruut. pastor United Brethren Church. Blue Mound.
